The TVTropes Crossover Anthology!

Remember The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

Remember how it put many of literature's greatest heroes and villains (Captain Nemo, Allan Quatermain, Sherlock Holmes, etc.) into one universe?

Well, I was thinking we make our own version!

You make up a character, and I will document his many adventures featuring elements from many other works of fiction!

They can be as well-known as obscure as you want! You can either suggest me or challenge me (use a specific reference, use a work with specific rules, etc.).

If you want, you can add OCs to stories so we can focus on them! (Spin-off stories)

You can even help me make the protagonist!

Care to expand on her first adventure?

I would, but I can't come up with it off the bat.

Let's say she teams up with Mulan.

Yes, Eloise has recently travelled to China to take up work carving statuary for Mulan's village, when the Emperor sends Chi-Fu there to rustle up some conscriptions. Naturally, the misogynistic little snob is even less pleased to be bad-mouthed by a foreign woman than he is by Mulan's perceived disrespect when her father accepts the conscription.

If you want to suggest or challenge me to add any crossovers to this, you can! You can even help continue the plot!

I'm assuming the plot of Munlan remains mostly unchanged for the moment; Mulan takes her father's place in the army, riding off upon Khan. Her discovery gets discovered, but Fa Zhou (Mulan's father) decides to keep this a secret.

But maybe, just maybe, Eloise hears of something while working her sculptor's job, something that sends her in Mulan's direction...

I do have a few ideas for potential crossovers, but now doesn't seem like the best time to add one. I'll bring them up when the time comes.

Eloise does follow Mulan, but she doesn't get along with Mushu, because he keeps addressing her as an alligator instead of a crocodile (because there are only alligators in China before Eloise came along), and she returns fire by taunting his height. Later on, after assisting Mulan in avalanching the Huns, they're both exposed, and Chi-Fu crosses the line by ordering Shang to kill them both. Eloise finally loses her patience with the advisor, and transforms, biting him hard enough to seriously injure his arm, but Shang ultimately just leaves both her and Mulan behind but alive.

Later on, after the Huns break into the Imperial City, Shan Yu kills Chi-Fu purely out of indifference to him, and Eloise uses her werecroc form up close against the other Huns to overpower them, seeing as they're not used to fighting crocodiles. (she also eats Hayabusa, just because she felt hungry) Mulan defeats Shan Yu, as per canon, and ultimately accepts the Emperor's offer of taking the late Chi-Fu's place, while Eloise stays behind to do repair work on the damaged palace. And then, one day, she gets wind of a Chinese delegation assisting in the delivery of the Book of Peace to Syracuse...

Story 1 Done!

Elloise Farrel Meets Mulan

Elloise Farrel is a stonemason. She works on statues, sculptures, and what have you. She comes from Darwin, North Australia, and is immortal. How can that be possible? As it turns out, being a were-crocodile has its benefits. She has had many adventures throughout her life, and it is with this one we begin. She had recently traveled to China to do statuary at a village. On the way, she had learned that Shan Yu & his army of Huns had broken through the Great Wall, and would soon attack. When she arrived, she met Chi-Fu, who was putting every man into conscription. After an argument, she met Fa Zhou, an old man who is definitely incapable of fighting. He talks about her daughter, Mulan whom Elloise is interested in. Meeting up with her, she talks about how she plans to serve in her father's place by pretending to be a man, and Elloise does the same. She doesn't get along with Mushu for saying she is an alligator, and returns fire by taunting his height. Unfortunately for both, Chi-Fu tags along. After helping Mulan in avalanching the huns, both are exposed and Chi-Fu orders Shang to kill them both. Elloise, at her limit, transforms and bites Chi-Fu in the arm hard enough to seriously injure it. Shang leaves them both alive. Soon, the Huns break into the Imperial City, where Shan Yu kills Chi-Fu out of indifference, where Elloise in werecroc form beats some Huns. Mulan defeats Shan Yu, and although she takes the place of Chi-Fu, Eloise stays behind to do some repairs on the palace. Our story ends when she finds out some news. News about a Chinese delegate who has been sent to deliver the Book of Peace to Syracuse…

Story 2: Elloise the Werecroc meets Sinbad the Sailor is coming up next!

bump

Do be patient with bumping; it hasn't even been a day yet! I promise you nobody's forgotten about this so quickly.

Alright, so, I'd say there's a fairly obvious question here; how does Sinbad's attack on the ship to get the Book of Peace fare? I doubt that the Elloise alone could shift much, even in were-croc form.

I'd also like, if it'd be possible, for a single character from Mulan to be present on the ship to potentially create an overarching story arc or something. Maybe Shang, since he hasn't been utilised all that much yet, could be a member of the delegation, or paid to protect them.

Hmm... That could work.

Any more?

Been a couple of days, so here's what I think'll happen (anyone else can come in and add/change things, though):

After attacking the ship to get the Book of Peace, Sinbad meets his old friend Proteus, and mysterious newcomers Shang and Elloise. Elloise doesn't get along well with him immediately, maybe even attacking him, but then the sea monster, Cetus, arrives.

Elloise absolutely makes a difference in this fight, impressing Sinbad with her strength. When Sinbad gets dragged off the ship, she tries to save him alongside Proteus, but is ultimately unsuccessful.

I have three options for where she can go from here: she falls in the sea alongside Sinbad, to meet Eris; she stays on the delegate ship; or she jumps across ships to meet Sinbad's crew without nearly dying. I'd go with the first, but I don't want to take up too much space.

Maybe she stays in the ship?
